"I understand the receiver is changing input state at jittered times, but isn't the input circuit the buffer to the clocked sections? That is, clocked onward long after (hopefully) settling time."If it's a FIFO buffer, yes. Ideally, if the buffer truly eliminates transmission jitter, the differences in digital cables and transports should become inaudible.
But very few input buffers are FIFO- The better DACs often use PLLs, which do *not* seem to be totally immune to input jitter. (The DB Technologies DA924 DAC has a true FIFO buffer.)
And even if there is a FIFO buffer, differences in RFI bleedthrough amongst electrical cables will still bring audible differences. (The FIFO buffer still has a common ground, and the RFI just passes through the ground.) I think however, a FIFO buffer could make optical cables indistinguishable because RFI bleedthrough is non-existent. Provided the RFI generated from the optical converter isn't affected by input jitter.
